[hobbit] multiple RRD graphs for a single column
by gumby3203＠gmail.com 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

How can I get Hobbit to display multiple physical RRD graphs for a single column of data? Specifically, I'd like to have two distinct graphs (each with their own Y-scale) for a single data column that is being generated from an external script. This would be similar to how Hobbit sometimes shows multiple graphs under the "disk" column. I can't seem to find this anywhere in the documentation.

[hobbit] - MySQL monitoring

You can use also dbcheck.pl to track the mysql database (connection and same stats as the normal sqlstatus script). The new version also has a custom query engine so it's possible to write to query to analyze and if someone know how to get more data out of sqlserver with query or sql command I can arrange some more checks for it (and graphs also...).

Adding data to a client
by vadud3＠gmail.com 21 Feb '07

21 Feb '07

I like to use `bb data hostname.serial<newline><the serial number>' to hobbit server. I do not want a column to be created. Then is it possible to query the serial number from within hobbit server using `bb query hostname.serial' just for the serial info? I don't want the data to expire. I guess I could test it myself. I dont want this data in the info column since it is suppose to be confidential due to support contract with SUN. -- Asif Iqbal PGP Key: 0xE62693C5 KeyServer: pgp.mit.edu

I see in the docs that a BBWEB definition is being made before calling bbgen. I do that also when making alternative pageset using BBGEND.

Veritas backup
by emarganne＠be.tiauto.com 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

Hi all, We are about to install a Veritas back-up solution and I would like to know if somebody has done something to monitor such back-up solutions. Thank you. Btw here is the answer to my yesterday question: Start the bbcombotest in the hobbitlaunch.cfg idcsrv912.resource.tiauto.com.conn = idcsrv911.info && idcsrv911.ERPlog bigtest2.conn = idcsrv911.ERPlog Introduce such test in bbcombotest.cfg. You can overwrite already evaluated tests (like the conn test for idcsrv912 in the example above). Add those test in the bb-hosts file : 0.0.0.0 bigtest2 # noconn 0.0.0.0 idcsrv912.resource.tiauto.com # noconn That will force the conn result to be the one from the combo test. You can detail the correct IP address if you know it but it also works well that way if there are some way to resolve the symbolic names with DNS. Etienne Marganne TI Automotive.

Thanks for the assistance but I'm still having no luck. I did change the bb-hosts section to use ossubpage. I am running this manually from the command line so I haven't added it to hobbitlaunch yet. I plan on doing that once I get it working. It creates the page and both subpages properly but doesn't add the server into the subpage. I can only get it working by using OS:* but then it puts the server in the top page and not in the subpages like I want it.

combotest and the test states
by emarganne＠be.tiauto.com 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

Hi all, This morning I have been testing combined test to try to mark as unreachable a list of hosts. From the tests I deduced the following statements: You can not overwrite already evaluated tests with combined containing their occurency. Explanation: emarganne.conn = bigrouter.conn && emarganne.conn do not work. Indeed it seams that the token "emarganne.conn" has to be unique. If you use it in the logic expression its value will be -1 because the expression analyzer links "emarganne.conn" to the one defined as the combo test not the one that has been defined in the bb-hosts file. So you can not create link the connectivity of a hosts to one of the other directly this way. I am right or is there any workaround ? Etienne Marganne TI Automotive.
